Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 42: Scarcity of resources

Alan was calm. He didn't stop the car and asked, "Why?"

Aria clenched her fist and decided to be straight to Alan. "I don't want to help someone who doesn't trust me. Stop. Now."

When Alan stopped at the traffic signal, he turned off manual unlocking. "Why are you angry?"

Aria tried to unlock the door but couldn't do it and responded to him. "Young master Morgan! It's not about anger. It's about TRUST. Auntie and uncle trust me so they sent me. It may be any relationship, trust is very important. Even with this car, you trust the manufacturer hence you dare to drive it. If there is any news saying, a moving car caught fire unexpectedly due to manufacturing defects, you will not touch it. Basically, Everything stands on trust and you don't trust me so there is no meaning in me helping you out."

She didn't expect him to doubt her. After finishing she tried to unlock but she couldn't. "Unlock the door." She more like ordered.

Alan came out of his daze. He didn't expect he would touch her sensitive line. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say I distrust you. I didn't want to force you further..." He took U-turn as he continued.

Aria calmed down and continued to hear.

"If you sit in a different table, what's the use of even coming? Can you tell by their body language? I don't think I will ask or talk with that girl. So I thought to drop off... Is it really that difficult to be in other's date?"

This time Aria took her own time which made Alan think she was angry. "It's not about the difficulty. No girl will like her date to bring somebody else..." She saw Isaac's flex, "Even if I have a date with actor Isaac and if he brings another girl, I will not like it. And it also gives the wrong impression."

Instead of focusing on why she said, he asked, "Do you like Isaac?"

Aria wanted to smack his head but didn't, "I gave an instance. And what's so good about him other than being shirtless in every shoot and movies. I saw his ad flex so just took his name as an example."

Alan was happy with her review of Isaac.

Aria rolled her eyes seeing him smile, 'Like seriously! we were talking about issue alright.'

Alan spoke after driving the car to the restaurant premises, "Don't worry, we will give a good impression on the girl."

Aria: "..."

It was after about ten minutes he responded to it.

Aria alighted when valet opened the door. Alan passed the key before reaching her. Aria saw him wearing sunglass which she bought for him and commented to relax the mood between them.

"Why do you make yourself look like late twenties man wearing suits everywhere? Now you look like your age. Young and dynamic."

The restaurant manager personally tended to 'The Alan Morgan' and took them towards the private room.

Alan responded after exiting the elevator, "Just like how you try to look simple choosing plain clothes."

Aria didn't respond. She didn't expect him to notice it.

The manager waited till Alan pulled a chair for Aria and he sat down. "President Morgan! Here is the menu." He handed the digital menu and left the room.

Alan continued after he left, "Today you are like your age, Young and refreshing."

Aria didn't expect that at all. She raised her brows and rebuffed, "I look even younger in those clothes whereas you make yourself look like an uncle, Cold and livid Prince."

He smiled and passed the menu. "Order!"

Aria checked time, "How can you order before your date arrives?... I mean you should wait for your date. It's time, she will be here soon."

Alan looked away pursing his lips.

That girl's car bumped into another car on the road. The other car driver was creating a huge fuss on-road keeping her hell busy.

By the time, she comes, his plan was to finish lunch with Aria.

Both talked leisurely for nearly half an hour but the girl was nowhere. Alan had asked Aria to order twice but the latter had asked to wait.

Alan asked when Aria's stomach grumbled the second time, "Are you still going to deny you aren't hungry? Let's start, she will join us when she comes."

Aria was hungry but... "How about you wait for your date and I'll eat?"

Alan purposefully showed dissatisfaction, "Just because my stomach didn't make some noise, are you thinking I'm not hungry?"

He didn't know he could be so unreasonable one day.

"Will you choose for you? Or shall I do it for you?" He clicked a few dishes and asked.

Aria extended her hand for the menu and chose before clicking on confirm. Aria then called Amelia to know about the girl. Amelia hung up the call to ask the girl before diverting the status.

Both started and Aria got a call from Amelia saying she would reach soon but she didn't reach even after their lunch was over and the table was cleaned.

Alan tried to raise a negative point about the girl so that they could leave, "Aria, are you expecting me to date the girl who has no timing sense?"

Aria leisurely responded, "You shouldn't judge without knowing the reason."

"Sure President Cooper..."

Aria giggled and Alan continued, "Can't you be like a little girl who loses patience and gets irritated?"

Aria giggled and said the fact, "If it was me at your place, I would have tried to get to know whether she is coming or not... and probably, get pissed off by now. Teehee."

Alan glared at her.

Aria ignored and continued, "Man shouldn't be late and make the girl wait but he should wait. The girl can take her time."

Alan was at a loss of words which made Aria laugh. It was difficult to see that expression on his face.

"What kind of logic is that? Are you saying our time isn't worth?"

Aria controlled laughing again and spoke, "I had heard that in my class or read some quotes as such... I think it's reasonable. The population of Single men is 60 percent and women are 40 percent in our country. So the effort of men should be high because of the scarcity of resources... But you don't worry, your current demand is 30, if Aunty uses her method, she can add up to an extra 30 or 40. If you announce in your social media page writing as 'Looking for a girl to get married', you will get hundreds of proposals. But that will make it difficult for me to be the third wheel on all dates. We can filter them first then we will rank or choose one by one. What do you think? Do you have a better idea?"

Alan gave up, "You win! I have nothing to say."

Aria burst into laughter seeing his both hands in the air to surrender.

Alan smiled seeing her laugh heartily. He controlled himself from pinching her pink cheeks.

He soon distracted himself from looking at her when she was stopping her chortle and rubbed her head fondly, "I will just come. Stay here."

Aria hummed with a nod. Bored, she ordered a lemonade and played on her mobile.

Alan called his men to let go of the girl who had a headache arguing with the driver. The latter wasn't ready to accept damage charges or let her leave. She couldn't understand why cops didn't reach them either which would have made things easier.
